I have been a keen follower of the Pink Whisk blog since Ruth appeared on the Great British Bake Off and I can safely say every recipe of hers I have ever followed has turned out brilliant. This book is no exception. I have just made the Victoria sponge cake and its the nicest I've ever made. The instructions are so easy to follow and are fool proof.I have 3 boys like Ruth so I don't have time shopping for random ingredients I've never heard of, and that's what I like about Ruth's recipes. They are simple yet taste far superior to more complex recipes.The cake recipes all appeal to me and the combinations used are just up my street, like ginger and lime drizzle cake. Great book think I might have to ditch all other baking books and stick to this one.

Exactly what I needed to get perfect results every time. Step-by-step photographic guides, simple advice and insider myth-busting tips and tricks - just the most useful and helpful baking book ever. I will keep this book by my side whenever I bake as the techniques can be used alongside recipes from other books. Why has no-one thought of this approach before? Ideal for beginners but also for occasional bakers like me who need to be reminded of basic skills when wanting to get extra-special results for family occasions.

Excellent instructions, easy to follow and written in simple, chatty style. The recipes are all ones that any of us would be likely to want to bake every day, not way-out, fancy creations that we wouldn't use. Love, love, love it!

This is an excellent book. I have tried 3 of the recipes and they turned out great. It has full instructions with every recipe which are clear and easy to follow. Would recommend this book. Can't wait for her next book.

Although I feel I must confess to having a few hundred cookery books - and I do promise my husband "no more" - I sent for this having looked inside via Amazon. It arrived today, and I am really, really impressed with the entire contents. It is truly a lovely book, really practical, informative, and does not cram your head full of things you don't understand. I would recommend this for a novice baker of cakes - but is also brilliant for someone older, who has been baking for some years. Go on, order it now, you will not be disappointed.

Had this on my wish list for a while then I deleted because I thought why do you need another cake book (I have too many!). Then I received an email from Pink Whisk detailing the lemon and elderflower drizzle cake, so checked the price, not too expensive and took the plunge and purchased and I am more than happy with this recipe book.
